High praise :)<br /> <br /> I don&#8217;t know that there&#8217;s anything about the girl in me just now. Or if there is, if it&#8217;s about killing the dark, or something else :P<br /> <br /> You know, I haven&#8217;t read <em>Wolves in the Walls</em>. I must admit I have a weird relationship with Gaiman&#8217;s work&#8212;some of it I adore so much (<em>Neverwhere</em> and <em>Stardust</em>) that I have a hard time bringing myself to read much more of his work, because it&#8217;s almost a letdown. Very cowardly of me.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/marcus-and-the-dark#comment-1665 Happiness is a good story 2005-03-30T20:35:31+00:00 2005-03-30T20:35:31+00:00 <p>Completely yummy. Very satisfying, but leaves me wanting more. Much more. Methinks there are hints of Wolves in the Walls in that. So me want more!<br /> <br /> Tell me about the girl.</p> EMeta http://faerye.net/post/marcus-and-the-dark#comment-1664 Re: New York Times Bestseller! 2005-03-30T15:20:10+00:00 2005-03-30T15:20:10+00:00 <p>Umm&#8230;no&#8230;I&#8217;m implying your blurb-writing genius is as yet unappreciated by the great unwashed!</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/marcus-and-the-dark#comment-1662 Re: New York Times Bestseller! 2005-03-30T15:17:04+00:00 2005-03-30T15:17:04+00:00 <p>Are you implying that I, wonko, do not have blurb-writing credentials?!</p> wonko http://faerye.net/post/marcus-and-the-dark#comment-1661 Re: New York Times Bestseller! 2005-03-30T15:13:40+00:00 2005-03-30T15:13:40+00:00 <p>I dunno. I think you have to have your own blurb-writing credentials before you can write blurbs with any appearance of authority. Plus, bias!<br /> <br /> Thankee though :)</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/marcus-and-the-dark#comment-1659 New York Times Bestseller! 2005-03-30T14:54:31+00:00 2005-03-30T14:54:31+00:00 <p>When you&#8217;re a bigshot author, can I be one of those people whose overzealous blurbs get pasted all over the covers of your books?</p> <p> I&#8217;ll say things like, &#8220;A damn good read!&#8221; and &#8220;A page-turner! Impossible to put down!&#8221; and sometimes, &#8220;I laughed until I cried!&#8221; or &#8220;I cried until I laughed!&#8221;. </p> <p> In this particular case, I&#8217;d have said, &#8220;Only [Eilonwy] could turn such a chimerical idea into a short story so poetic and beautiful&#8230;I couldn&#8217;t put it down!&#8221; </p> wonko
